I'd like to point the Alans were only the front line of the Empire central command, the 2° line were Britannians IIRC ( forced from Great Britain by Saxons, they settled in French Brittany, enslaved the locals and made a deal with what was left of the Empire - it's a way they have in the 5th century ); I think a combo Sp/Sh/Cv wouldn't be amiss

Certainly in Maurice Bouvier-Ajam's biography of Attila, but I remember seeing it in other sources as well. I'll look it up.
Come to think of it, I wonder whether the Franks that sided with Ætius weren't there as well.
At any rate, you can't deny Sangiban's Alans were just a bunch of Foederati settled around Orléans - they couldn't possibly have fielded as big a force as the Wisigoths could or as Ætius could bring out of the roman field army. Therefore, they had to be reinforced with other troops.
Unless you postulate they were put as a deliberately weak center ( the Marathon manœuver ) which is an acceptable hypothesis ( as Sangiban had pledged to side with Attila and then changed his mind, so he'd have been eager to teach him proper etiquette and punctilio ) and in that case they should be half size and the wings proportionnally stronger.

? It's common knowledge Britons fleeing Great Britain settled and took over in Brittany - Conan Meriadeg and all that jazz. They even say so in Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany |
